An apparatus and method for mixing fluids and/or solids in a manner that can be varied from maintaining the integrity of fragile molecular and biological materials in the mixing vessel to homogenizing heavy aggregate material by supplying large amounts of energy. Variation in the manner of mixing is accomplished using an electronic controller to generate signals to control the frequency and amplitude of the motor(s), which drive an unbalanced shaft assembly to produce a linear vibratory motion. The motor may be a stepper motors a linear motor or a DC continuous motor. By placing a sensor on the mixing vessel platform to provide feedback control of the mixing motor, the characteristics of agitation in the fluid or solid can be adjusted to optimize the degree of mixing and produce a high quality mixant.

An autonomous personal transportation system for moving passengers and light freights is constructed with a track network and small vehicles on the track network. There are a number of stations and stops for loading and unloading on side tracks off the mainline of the track network. The vehicle width is limited to a dimension for one seat. The vehicles can be coupled statically or dynamically to form a train. The track has side rails for the rigid wheels of the vehicle and a central rail for centering the vehicle on the guideway and providing additional acceleration and braking capability. The control system for the movement of vehicles is divided into three levels: the central control system, the wayside control system and the vehicle control system.

In an apparatus for elevator group control which performs group management of a set of elevators, the set consisting of an upper car and a lower car which are disposed in a vertical relation within one elevator shaft and which ascend and descend independently, the floors are classified so that a floor communicating with an entrance of a building is classified as a main floor for the lower car, a floor communicating with an entrance of the building above the main floor for the lower car is classified as a main floor for the upper car, a lower-floor portion of the shaft is classified as a lower-car priority zone, an upper-floor is classified as an upper-car priority zone, and an intermediate-floor portion is classified as a common-use zone of the upper car and the lower car. A hall call is assigned to the upper car or the lower car according to the classification to which the hall in question belongs. In each of the priority zones, the upper car or the lower car is preferentially brought into service. In the common-use zone, after the existence or nonexistence of interference with a counterpart car is determined, the upper car or the lower car is caused to make an entry and is brought into service and, after a response, the upper car or the lower car is caused to escape from the common-use zone and is caused to retreat to an escape floor.
